“Killing Time” is a song about wandering through life without a sense of greater purpose. It expresses what it is like to watch time pass you by and to find yourself in an existential crisis.
It’s one of the sadder songs that frontman Dallas Green has written, as he mentioned in an interview, but he...
What if you're here when I'm not ready?
What if I'm not willing to listen?
I hope these devils never leave me
'Cos I keep taking what they're giving
[Chorus]
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Lately I've been thinking about
Just who I'm supposed to be
There are lines forming on my hands and face
Before today I have never seen
[Chorus]
But right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Killing time, oh
Killing time, oh
Oh
[Chorus]
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I think that I was never really there
Right now it feels like killing time
